Brian Gay and Scott Langley shared the lead after the opening round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am US PGA Tour event in California on Thursday.

In 2018, Ted Potter, Jr. prevailed over Phil Mickelson, Jason Day and two-time Pebble Beach victor Dustin Johnson. "I'm not going to chase them as hard as I tried to maybe force or chase them previous year because you can get hurt doing that". I ran a number of putts by but I made a lot of them coming back and made a lot of short ones.

"If I think about it that way it it certainly makes me happier, frees me up a bit".

Jason Day had quite a day at Monterey Peninsula Country Club's Shore Course.

"I felt that I was practising better than I was playing, which is frustrating", the Greystones star said of his struggle to score well during the Middle East swing.

Trump to meet North Korean leader February 27-28 in VietnamTrump has loudly and repeatedly offered fawning praise for Kim, claiming that they "fell in love" and have "fantastic chemistry". But U.S. troops have no right to do that, said Iraqi President Barham Salih, adding that Trump's comments were "surprising".

The fact that it was all turned upside-down and Rollins was hitting golf balls for the first time in more than a week and competing in a PGA TOUR tournament for the first time since last August was as improbable an occurrence as he has ever been part of.

Everyone in the field plays each of the three courses, before the cut is made for the final round at Pebble. If Day, Spieth, Johnson or Mickelson can somehow get in the house under par on Friday, that player will likely become the favorite to take home the trophy on Sunday.

Third-ranked Dustin Johnson, a two-time AT&T Pebble Beach, 2017 champion Jordan Spieth, who birdied five of the last nine holes, Keith Mitchell and Austin Cook all shot 5-under 66 at Monterey Peninsula. Mickelson is not, though he has won more majors of now active players than anyone other than Tiger Woods.

Potter beat Johnson by three shots.

Nine players were a single shot back on five under, including South Africa's Branden Grace, who played the Pebble Beach course.

However, 11-time Tour champion Spieth said he is "in a good place right now". Articles appear on euronews.com for a limited time.
